Alegria Tacos

What can I say about this place? Yum yum yum....  Another of my favorites Mexican joints...  Simple, delish and super yumo.... My favorite thing here is the torta... A torta?! What's that?

Steak torta
Well a torta is like grinder, hoagie, sub, sandwich.... Mexican style... The bread is the key for a great torta...  Soft but not too soft to fall apart... Firm to the touch.. Filled with Mexican goodies... They have all kind of them.. My favorite one is al pastor... Marinated pork... A hint of sweet and spicy meat... Tender...  A layer of meat... Refried beans... Tomato... Cheese.. Jalapeños and onions... I like everything but the onions... But that's my taste...  When you bite the torta your taste buds get real happy... Soft flavorful bread.. Tender meat.. Melting cheese... Creamy avocado... Salty beans.. A full mouth of flavor...  They are so good... And huge... Plenty for 2... But I don't like sharing so I eat all by myself...

Ryan loves ordering tostadas...  A flat fried corn tortilla topped with the meat of your choice... They have al pastor, steak, carnitas, lengua (tongue)... What?! Tongue!? Really! Yes... Most people are not familiar with tongue... Or they think it's gross... But c'mon we eat caviar... Fish eggs...  Chicken wings...  Foie gras... Goose liver... Snails... People pay lots of money for those delicacies... But tongue is gross... I don't think so.. When it's prepared the right away... Tongue is tender and full of flavor...

Tostadas are served with beans... Salsa and avocado... They have tacos as well... The food is so good there.. Very small place on the corner of Andrews and NW 38th street in fort lauderdale... The place is run by the two nicest people... They are always happy to serve you... They make everything while you wait... Everything is made fresh and from scratch...

I've been there several times and I'm always happy with my food, it's one of those small places that you so happy to come back...
